Curriculum –

Students will receive an objective sheet this week that will have performing objectives and tasks to complete in two weeks of time. Please ask your child to play for you and assist your child as needed. Students will be given time during MPH to come in and complete objectives as well as some class time. Checking off an objective at school can take as little as 30 seconds to play through but preparing the music to performance level requires practicing at home.

Please make sure your child has a flip folder and lyre for their band instrument, percussion need a black binder, students need their supplies to have an equal chance for success.  Guard please pay for your shoes $35 and a down payment for your uniform $40 to the front office, we can not order shoes or buy uniforms without your payment.
